Can Career Builder predict technology trends? We had a Rose senior project explore that this school year. They tried job sites like Career Builder. Found: Monster and Indeed had query limits And wanted a paid subscription for access Monster was $ 5000. Also tried analyzing: Question sites (like Stack Overflow) Repository sites (What tools are they using?) Social media (What s everyone talking about?) 6
What the senior project liked - StackExchange 7
Other issues they ran into The problem of Monster and Indeed sending you to other people s web sites, with widely differing formats. Non-scalable screen-scraping problem. How to analyze Machine learning Ranking Etc How to present results Email a trend when you find one? Show graphical comparisons? Bar graph comparisons? Pie chart? 8
Decisions they had to make Reliability of sources. Amount of noise to sort out. How much of a leading indicator a type of site is. There are well-known considerations Relative strength of different trends Oscillation? Like the stock market? 9
